Do’s and Don’ts for Ozone Therapy

Because Ozone breaks down toxins and chemicals in the
human body it is extremely important to adhere to the
following rules:

 If you are actively taking any medication (blood
pressure medication, insulin or other prescribed medication etc)
we strongly advise that all medication is taken 4-6 HOURS PRIOR to
an Ozone Therapy Treatment.
- 4 Hours if you are under the age of 50
- 6 Hours if you are older than 50

 If you are currently receiving Radiation treatment or
Chemotherapy treatment we strongly advise that you WAIT 4
DAYS AFTER these treatments before having an Ozone Therapy
treatment.
- Please inform your Doctor that you are receiving
Ozone Treatment
- Ozone will increase the absorption of Chemotherapy by up to
30%

 If you are suffering from Alcoholism do not under any
circumstances administer Ozone Sauna Therapy and if you have
had an alcoholic beverage WITHIN 8 HOURS PRIOR to an Ozone
Sauna Therapy treatment.

 If you are pregnant do not under any circumstances
administer Ozone Sauna Therapy. If you are not 100% sure about
your pregnancy status do not administer Ozone Sauna Therapy.
- As per point 1, if you are taking Contraceptive
medication, please make sure that this medication is taken 4-6
HOURS PRIOR to Ozone Therapy Treatment.

 Do not take any Vitamin C 1 HOUR BEFORE OR AFTER an
Ozone Therapy Session
- This includes; orange juice, fruit containing vitamin C, or multi-
vitamins containing vitamin C.
- Vitamin C destroys Ozone and will render your Ozone Therapy
useless.
 Ozonated Water
- Do not drink any medication with newly Ozonated water as
Ozone breaks down all chemicals and will render your medication
useless.

 It is VERY important that you take adequate amounts of
Vitamins B (complex), C, E, A, (& Beta Carotene), Zinc, Selenium,
and some have ecommended N-acetyl-Cysteine, and Copper
after every Ozone Therapy Session.
- It is recommended that you wait 1
HOUR AFTER Ozone Therapy before
taking the above.

 To prevent any unwanted oxidative effects and improve
your Ozone Therapy experience, it is best to take a good anti-
oxidant combination for 5-7 days before starting ozone therapy.
- Do not take anti-oxidants 4 HOURS PRIOR to
having Ozone Therapy.

 Ozone breaks down anything synthetic (chemicals,
medicine etc) – however there are a few anomalies where Ozone
increases the intensity of chemicals, medicines namely;
- Aspirin – Ozone increases the intensity of Aspirin by up to 100
times
- Chemotherapy – Ozone increases the absorption of Chemo in
the body

 If customer has ailment or disease not listed on medical form
ask customer to please consult their doctor and get his/her
permission to have Ozone Therapy before any session takes place.

 Follow Protocols at all times and do not waiver.

 Saunas and Heat – Heat can have diverse side effects on
people who suffer from cardio-respiratory problems. Please be
cautious at all times.
How many sessions can I have

Depending on your state of health we recommend a
minimum of 10 sessions per month to begin with.

 An athlete for instance will start off with 5 sessions (every day or
ever other day) and then come for ozone therapy before and
after an athletic event.

 Someone who is quite healthy can have 2-3 sessions a week for
a month, thereafter 10 sessions per month is fine (3 month
treatment package)

 Someone who is not to healthy can have 3-4 sessions a week for
a month, thereafter 10 sessions per month is fine (3 month
treatment package)

 Someone who is chronically ill can have 4-5 sessions a week for
2 months, thereafter 3 sessions per week is fine (3 month treatment
package)

As you can see Ozone Therapy is extremely safe as there are no
side effects. However as with anything in life we recommend that
you see your Medical Practitioner first and exercise moderation
when having Ozone Therapy – don’t get carried away…even
though you feel awesome after every session.

Ozone is not a miracle healer - Remember you have a life time
worth of damage to your body that cannot be rectified over
night. Ozone needs to become part of your life – you can’t survive
without oxygen.
Alkaline / Acid Forming Foods

Balancing Acid/Alkaline Foods

A surprising number and variety of physical problems and diseases
can be caused by the problem of foods that are acid-producing
after digestion.

Today the vast majority of the populace in industrialized nations
suffers from problems caused by the stress of acidosis, because
both modern lifestyle and diet promote acidification of the body's
internal environment.

The current typical Western diet is largely composed of acid-
forming foods (proteins, cereals, sugars). Alkaline-producing foods
such as vegetables are eaten in much smaller quantities.

Stimulants like tobacco, coffee, tea, and alcohol are also
extremely acidifying. Stress, and physical activity (either insufficient
or excessive amounts) also cause acidification.

Many foods are alkaline-producing by nature, but manufactured
processed foods are mostly acid-producing. It is important to
consume at least 60% alkaline-producing foods in our diet, in order
to maintain health. We need plenty of fresh fruits and particularly
vegetables (alkaline-producing) to balance our necessary protein
intake (acid-producing). And we need to avoid processed, sugary
or simple-carbohydrate foods, not only because they are acid-
producing but also because they raise blood sugar level too
quickly (high glycemic index therefore fattening); plus they tend
to be nutrient-lacking and may be toxic too.
Glycemic Index

The Glycemic Index measures how fast the carbohydrate of a
particular food is converted to glucose and enters the
bloodstream. The lower the number, the slower the absorption.
The numbers are percentages compared to a reference food, in
this case glucose, at 100%.
What is the body’s PH?

Water is the most abundant compound in the human body,
comprising 70% of the body. The body therefore contains a wide
range of solutions, which may be more or less acid. pH (potential
of Hydrogen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution -
the ratio between positively charged ions (acid-forming) and
negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming.)

The pH of any solution is the measure of its hydrogen-ion
concentration. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and
oxygen rich the fluid is. The lower the pH reading, the more acidic
and oxygen deprived the fluid is. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with
7.0 being neutral.

Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered
acidic.

Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline (7.35 - 7.45). Below or
above this range means symptoms and disease. If blood pH
moves below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the body
dies. The body therefore continually strives to balance pH. When
this balance is compromised many problems can occur.

When the Blood pH range is between 7.35 and 7.45 it means that
there is an adequate amount of oxygen in the blood. Any slight
decrease in pH will result in lower oxygen levels in the blood and,
therefore, in the cells. Any drop in pH, no matter how slight, is the
beginning of a disease state and affects when we age and how
we age.

The pH of blood and body fluids must be balanced in order for the
body's vital processes to function normally.
Normal blood pH has a very small window of acid/alkaline pH
balance.

An imbalanced diet high in acidic-producing foods such as
animal protein, sugar, caffeine, and processed foods puts pressure
on the body's regulating systems to maintain pH neutrality. The
extra buffering required can deplete the body of alkaline minerals
such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, making the
person prone to chronic and degenerative disease.
Minerals are borrowed from vital organs and bones to buffer
(neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because
of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage--
a condition that may go undetected for years.

Health problems caused by acidosis

If you have a health problem, most likely you are suffering from
acidosis. Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly
alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. So no matter what means
you choose to take care of your health, it won't be effective until
the pH level is balanced. If your body's pH is not balanced, for
example, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and
food supplements. Your body pH affects everything.

Acidosis will decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and
other
nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease
it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify
heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more
susceptible to fatigue and illness.

An acidic pH can occur from an acid-forming diet, emotional
stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process
that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will
try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the
diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up
of acids in the cells will occur. Acidosis can cause such problems
as:
Test Your Body's Acidity or Alkalinity with pH Strips

It is recommended that you test your pH levels to determine if
your body's pH needs immediate attention. By using pH test
strips (Litmus Paper), you can determine your pH factor quickly
and easily in the privacy of your own home. The best time to test
your pH is about one hour before a meal and two hours after a
meal.

Saliva pH Test

Simply wet a piece of Litmus Paper with your saliva. While
generally more acidic than blood, salivary pH mirrors the blood
and tells us what the body retains. It is a fair indicator of the health
of the extra cellular fluids and their alkaline mineral reserves. The
optimal pH for saliva is 6.4 to 6.8. A reading lower than 6.4 is
indicative of insufficient alkaline reserves. After eating, the saliva
pH should rise to 7.5 or more. To deviate from an ideal salivary pH
for an extended time invites illness. If your saliva stays between 6.5
and 7.5 all day, your body is functioning within a healthy range.

Acidosis, an extended time in the acid pH state, can result in
rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis,
high blood pressure, most cancers and many more. If salivary pH
stays too low, the diet should focus on fruit, vegetables and
mineral water as well as remove strong acidifiers such as sodas,
whole wheat and red meat.
